just moved into a new house, the garage doesnt have any power or lights, so in anticipation of some late nights, putting together a new motor for the outback, i thought i'd get the shed set up properly...
Yes, that is a pair of gen3 outback lights mounted up on the roof!
I've got an old computer PSU hooked up as a 12V supply for the lights. I'd reckon i've violated every electrical building regulation in existance, but meh, its only 12V. The PSU works fine with only the high beams on, but trips off if I put highs + lows on together. The high beams put out enough light anyway.
Choice! haha.

When you turn on the shed lights, does a little blue light illuminate to tell you they are on?

If your shed has no power, how are you getting the 230V to power the PSU?
50m extension lead?

Love it. PSU's are actually surprisingly useful, I always keep my old ones just in case something like this pops up

Needs more indicator stalk to flick between Lo and Hi beams.
haha, yeah that would be the icing on the cake, anyone around newcastle have one they would donate me?
